FOUND DEAD IN HIS CELL.
e sDOc'' Grantland, the Grassy Negro Dies
From Exhaustion In His Cell at the
County Jail.
CORONERs INQUEST HELD.

doc" Grantland is dead. A paupers
coffin and grave in Potter's Field is the
last resting place for the poor untortu-
nate lunatic who 80 long has been q
bowling terror to the residents in the
immediate vicinity Of the Jail.
Yesterday morning when the jailer
went on his daily rounds through the
prison he found "Doc" lying cold and
stiff on the floor of his cell, a corpse.
He had been dead several hours when
first discovered by the jailer.
Later iu the day an inquest was held
before Esquire Figg, acting Coroner, and
jury composed Of the following gentle
men: L w McCravy, r w Baker, ] r
Stegall, H w Helm. Geo. NJ Neely and
Geo. w Smith.
DR.. j ] Dement, examined the deceas
ed and stated to the Jury that the cause
of death, in his opinion, was from ply.
sical exhaustion caused by repeated at
tacks of acute mania. The jury re-
turned verdict in accordance with the
facts.
1t is pity that our State lunatic As
sylum is not large enough to receive
within its shattering confines such men
as Grantland. Two months ago Grant
land was conveyed to Tuscaloosa by
Deputy Sheriff Fulgham and was denied
admission. There was nothing left fol
Fulgham to do but bring him back
Grantland has long been 2 terror, not
only to citizens, but the Jail authorities
as well. He has damaged the cells in
which he was confined, and it was found
necessary to chain him strongly to pre-
vent mischief.
Several years ago, when Mr.: Cooper
was Sheriff, an attempt was made to get
Grantland into the ASYLUM but without
success. Hon. VIM. Richardson, who
was Judge of Probate at that time, re.
quested DR.. Dement, to use his personal
influence withDr. Bryce, OF the Assy.
lum for the insane in order to have
Grantland removed to where he could
be taken care OF. DR.. Dement, did his
utmost but the overcrowdcd condition oi
the asylum was such that the unfortu-
nate lunatic was still in our hands.
The State Legislature should take
steps leading to the enlargement OF the
State asylum when next they meet.

DESTRUCTIVE FLAMES.


The OkS'fcrrin Property on the Yellow
1prinEs Road Destroyed BY Fire.
,At the hour of going to press, a destruc-
tive rural fire Is devastating the old Perrin
homestead. two miles south Of the city on
the Yellow Springs road. The house is
owned and occupied by Mr.. John Driscol,
the son of the late Elias Driscol.
The house is q substantial twO-stOry
brick and is one Of the handsOmest rural
homesteads in the county. At this writ
ing nothing remains of the main structure
but the biackened brick walls. which are
still erect. The fire Is still raging in the
kitchen.
The fire broke out at Il: 80. the roof catch
ing from flying spark. Fifteen minutes
later an alarm Of FIRE was turned in from
box 46, corner Yellow Springs and Liberty
streets, but the fire Was 50 far out that moth
ing could BE- done by the department, except
such service As could be rendered by the
chemical engine. This did noble service,
and the barn was finally saved with its con-
tents. The chemical had to be constantly
dragged down to the nearest plug, mile
away. to be reilled.
All the clothing. bedding. furniture and
carpets on the upper floors were DESTROYED
Immediately. but some of the contents Of
the lower floors were saved. The total
loss will exceed So. 500. and there is said to
be insurance aggregating 8. 1000.

Education for the Indians.

1t takes eight years to graduate an Eng
lish born pupil from the grammar grade, Civ
ing ten months continuous schooling each
year. After this from three TO five years are
required to make competent mechanic Of
such graduates, giving all the time to the
trade. Here are from eleven to thirteen
years given to the education and training of
the ordinary American boy, who is TO make
his way in life as skilled mechanic. And
the boy starts in usually with all the advan-
tases of inherited civilization and with the
Christian educating influence of Pennsyl-
vania homo surrounding him from his birth.
And Yet the Indian child, taken from his saw
age heather surroundings, with his inherited
tendencies all wrong, is expected TO be trans
formed III fru:E three to five years into CIV
ilized being, the equal in intelligence and
manual skill of the white boy.
The education given the Indian youth is
not designed to enable them TO live again in
barbarism. And the pity of it has been that
for the great multitude there has been no es-
cape After their few years Of schooling,
back they have had to 60 into tho companion.
ship Of savagcs, who look with contemp,
upon their education, and with the old savage
surrounding a relapse into the old manner
Of living, is not surprising. The wonder is
that SO many hold out for civilization
